UNRWA alerts $100M funding gap
The UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) reported facing a financial shortfall of approximately $100 million for 2026, which threatens the continuity of its humanitarian services for Palestinian refugees, especially amid declining funding and increasing challenges in the sector. The Acting Commissioner-General explained that the agency provides vital services to around 1.7 million people in Gaza, including the management of shelter centers, education, healthcare services, and water provision, despite difficult circumstances such as insecurity, shortages of shelter and water, and the risk of environmental pollution. He also pointed to escalating tensions in other Palestinian areas, where displacements have reached unprecedented levels since 1967, amid deteriorating security and political conditions, along with Israeli measures targeting UNRWA facilities in Jerusalem. Sanders called on the international community to provide strong political and financial support to strengthen the agency's capacities, maintain its neutrality, and continue delivering essential services despite financial crises and political challenges.
